Cairo is a very interesting city not just because the river Nile is located there, it’s also quite popular for its shops but there are other reasons why people pick Cairo to go on holiday. The city is most popular for having the oldest preserved empire buildings such as The Three Pyramids or the Sphinx. It’s most popular because of its ancient features and it’s also very well known for the three mystery Pyramids. There are thousands of tourists who visit Cairo every week.

If you would like to relax then of course there is lots of restaurants and they all include the evening entertainment, its quite fun watching people dance their own traditional movements. There is a huge number of shops, beaches, hotels and even spa treatments so if you’re one of the people who would love to treat themselves then you know who to ask for more information about this. Many people love the sunshine so as soon as they get to the country they use swimming pools. Swimming pools? Why swimming pools? Well here’s an answer, quite a few hotels in Cairo now include sea water in their swimming pools instead of the smelly chlorine and I think that’s a great idea.

Also as you might already know that Egypt is a Muslim religious country and starting at six o’clock every morning people who believe in their religion pray five times a day. Therefore there is a Mohamed Ali Mosque which is the emblem of Cairo. It’s called that because there was a man called Mohamed Ali (1769 – 1849) who was born in Cavalia, Greece and was of Albanian origin. He was a soldier in the troops that were sent to Egypt to free the country from Napoleon’s occupation. So in the end he helped to free the country and now people pray for him.
